Question

What is the advantage of Qi-technology over other inductive charging technologies?

Answer

Qi is one of the inductive technologies. But Qi inductive technology is better than other non-Qi inductive technologies because Qi is a standard agreed upon across companies and industries.

Over 50 companies in the WPC are involved in every aspect for making Qi a success. In addition to the big name device makers, there are a host of electronics component companies designing coils, chips, controllers and other parts that make Qi a standard part for charging 5W devices.

Furthermore, there are retailers, furniture makers and automotive parts suppliers bringing Qi charging infrastructure to places where you want to charge your devices. The power of the WPC means tomorrow’s devices will all work together with the next generation of charging technology built in.
